7 Claims.

My invention relates to sanitary paper holders and dispensers, and the objects of my invention are:

First, to provide a device of this class which is Vparticulaiiy adapted for holding the paper neck bands used by barbers. r

Second, to provide a deviceof thisclass which protects the paper from dust and( dirt.

Third, to provide a device of this class which is particularly easy to operate and readily refilled.

Fourth, to provide a device of this class which mayb-seither hung or fastened toV a wall orV rest upon a table or the like; and

to pre lide on the whole a novelly cond sanitrypap'erv holder and dispenser .vhich is particularly simple of construction proportional to its functions, durabla'eflicientin its action, which will not readily deteriorate'or get ont of'order'.V Y Y With these and other objects in View as will appear hereinafter, my invention consists of certain novel features o construction, combination and a angement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter descr .ed detailand particularly set jiort'h'in the appended claims'reference being had-to the accompanying drawing and to the characte's of reference thereon which form va partei this application, in which: l f

'Figure l is afront elevational View ofniy den@ vi-ce;7l=ig. 2 is 're relevational view-thereof showing by dotted l the manner in which the device is separa for the purpose of refilling;

l "tr ial sectional view thereof through 3 3 oi Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view 'thereof through 4-4 of Fig. 3; and

A5 is an enlarge fragmentary sectional 'View through 5 5 of Fi l.

Similar cheracte.A or" reference refer to similar parts and portions throughout the several views .3 or" the drawing.

End members l Vand. 2, shell 13, binding 4, lip member 5, reinforcing ,6, rod 7, locking nut 8, spacers 9 and l0, tension spring ll, support'mem- 'eers cross bar 13 constitute the principal 5 Larts and portions of my novel sanitary paper holder and dispenser.

Two end .membersA l and 2 are provided which are cupped so as to form relatively narrow cy- -ical rims lcand 2a respectively. vThe cylrical portions la and 2a are provided with inwardly extending shoulders lb and 2b respective- 1y. The cylindrical portions lo. and 2c are adaptw (ro Q ed to receive the end portions of a cylindrical is provided with reinforcing 5, similar to the `downwardly extending side portion portion by means of binding 4, which ts within the rim portions la and 2a.

The shell 3 is longitudinally slit from end to end, as indicated by The shell 3 is disposed so that the slit 3a faces downwardly and outwardly as shown best in Figs. l, e and 5. The upper margin of the slit 3a is provided with a lip member 5l which extends radially outwardly therefrom. The lower margin of said slit 3c binding ll, except-that said reinforcing 6 is provided with a rudimentary radially outwardly extending portion 6a.

The end members l and 2 are provided with slots lc 'and 2c cut into their rim portions la and 2a respectively, which are arranged to receive the ends of the lip member 5 and projecting portion 6a.

The end members l and 2 are also provided with centrally disposed openings ld and. 2d respectively which areA adapted to receive a rod 7. The rod 7 may be permanently attached to the end member l, but the end of said rod extending through the end member 2' is provided lwithl a locking nut 8, so that the end member 2 may be removed.

yA spacer 9 is secured in the end'member 2. A second spacer l0 is loosely positioned in the end member l and slidable on the-rod 7. A tension spring ll is disposed between the spacer liland the end member l, as shown in Fig. 3. The spaclers 9 andi() are adapted to engage the Vends of a roll of tissue paper P supported upon the ro'df 7;

The end ofthe tissue paper is inserted through the slit 3a where it may be drawn outwardlyto the desired length and torn o' byfan upward pull against the lip member 5. l

The paper for which thisdevice is particularly adaptedis provided with weakened portionsat intervals to facilitate tearing. 'n s 95 lThe rirnportions-of the end members 'l 2 are provided with support Vmembers l2. SachU support memberincludes an arcuate. portion .12a secured to the corresponding end member,

12b, and a The rear extremities of the 10o foot portlon 12e.

.portions 12a are provided Withupwardly directed l portions 12d, whichexten'd lappro.idmately to the fheightof'the end members i2 as shownbest'in Figs. 2 and 4. Secured to the upright portion 12d of one support member 12, is one end of a cross bar 13. The connection is preferably in the form of a rivet or the like so as to permit pivotal movement of the cross bar 13. The extended end thereof is provided with a notch 13a which is "110 adapted to engage a hook portion 12e provided in the other support member at the upper extremity of its upright portion 12d. The cross bar 1B is provided intermediate its ends with a securing lug 13b.

The device is refilled by unscrewing the nut 8 and shifting the end member 2 axially away from the rod 7, whereupon the old roll of paper may be removed and a new roll inserted. The end of the new roll is easily placed in the slot 3a by reason of the fact that the end of said slot is open when the end-member 2 is removed. l

Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions, I do not wish to be limited. to this particular construction, combination and arrangement, but desire to include in the scope of my invention, the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l.
